Tuscany, Italy® Uggiano Chianti Classico Riserva Prestige – 4993303675015

Uggiano Chianti Classico Riserva Prestige is a blend of Sangiovese with just 10% Canaiolo from this excellent producer. Concentrated rich fruit on the nose with savoury ripe fruit perfectly balanced with toasty oak. Velvety smooth with great length.

Azienda Uggiano was established in the early 1970s by oenologist Giuseppe Losapio. He steadily developed the estate, at San Vincenzo a Torri near the river Pesa, to become one of the leading producers in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini zone. 100 hectares of hillside vineyards are owned or leased, in both Colli Fiorentini and around neighbouring Chianti Classico, near San Casciano, from which Uggiano produce consistently well-made Tuscan reds. A core of quality runs through an unfussy, practical and exceptionally well-priced range, from bright entry level Chianti to some impressive, classically styled Riserva wines. In 2015, the Losapio family sold the company to Uggiano’s young but experienced management team, including commercial manager Giacomo Fossati and Daniele Prosperi, winemaker for the past 12 vintages.
